The uncertainty of whether or not Joss Whedon will return to direct The Avengers 2 has finally been cleared up. In an earnings call on Tuesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that the movie studio has made an exclusive deal with Whedon for him to write and directThe Avengers 2 and to develop a live-action TV series based on the Marvel's characters. The agreement will last till June 2015, which is the same year when the new Avengers movie is planned for release.

Warner Bros has been trying to get their own Avengers off the ground with their Justice League movie. The obvious choice to direct the movie is Christopher Nolan, but since he passed, the studio will have to look for someone else. That person appears to be Ben Affleck. According to Variety, WB wants Ben Affleck to direct and possibly star in the movie, but some sources say the actor-director isn't really interested, but will meet with the studio to discuss it anyway.

The feature rights to Daredevil rest with Fox, but if the studio won't make a movie based on the character soon, like before October 10th, the rights will revert back to Marvel. According to reports, some backroom dealing may be going on between the two studios to extend the expiration date, but those reports are being denied. This story is still developing, so stay tuned.
